— Global Force Wrestling released the following statement today:
GFW has concluded its internal consideration of the events surrounding the suspension of Alberto El Patron. While it is apparent that initial reports unfairly characterized El Patron’s involvement in the incident in the Orlando airport, we are nonetheless disappointed with the manor (sic) in which he dealt with this situation; we expect more decorum from all on the GFW roster, especially the World Champion.
We have communicated with El Patron our decision to strip him of his championship title. No decision has been taken as to the date on which he will be reinstated to the roster, the conditions of which are a private matter between the company and El Patron.
— This decision seems to imply that Alberto will not be at the TV tapings which begin this week and that there will need to be a further announcement or storyline to crown a new champion. It should be noted that GFW recently brought in John Morrison, in what is expected to be a major role.
— Alberto El Patron posted a message on Instagram yesterday, suggesting that the idea for GFW to strip him of their championship belt was his idea and that it is a “positive” development for everyone.
